Ideas.... Sounds like a permissions issue to me. Can your users access each other's email by changing their settings within outlook? If so, that might be the answer. But, still sounds like permissions.....

Though, rootkits have been in existence for a very long time. Enough said about that. What I do have to say, there is a new tool that can help find if you have any root kits installed on your machine. What are root kits? The term rootkit is used to describe the mechanisms and techniques whereby malware, including viruses, spyware, and trojans, attempt to hide their presence from spyware blockers, antivirus, and system management utilities. There are several rootkit classifications depending on whether the malware survives reboot and whether it executes in user mode or kernel mode. But, feel free to read my source of information.... http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/rootkitreveal.shtml thoughts?

Hrmmm, I guess I didn't correctly do a search on this topic. I first wanted to see if anyone posted anything about this, before I posted here. Oh well. Next time, I'll search the body instead of the header.

Actually, I believe the original user did state they reloaded windows fresh. Anyway, I'm at a loss why you are thinking setting the nic at 100mb will do anything. All that is going to do, is allow communication between the computer and the router up to 100mb speed. Then from the router to the dsl/cable modem probalby set up at 10mb or less. Since most people in the states don't have anything beyond 5mb broadband. Though, I shake my fist at a friend in Japan. He has DSL that is at about 20mb/s at about $20 a month. Damn him! Anyway, the 10mb/s and 100mb/s is only going to affect his internal network. UNLESS, this guy has OC3 to his house or something. Oh, wait, he has it corrected....never mind...

Actually, you might be able to. But, you are going to need a dremel and perhaps a sledgehammer. In the end, a new case would probably be cheaper.

Just a quick question, when you first installed the new video card, did you have the monitor plugged into this video card? Did video display on the monitor? Was there no video? If there was no video, then try a different PCI card. If none of this is your situation, then....remove the drivers and unwanted software that the driver disk installed. Actually, do a roll-back of the driver. Remove any of the new drivers, and try the latest driver build off the internet. IF that doesn't work, remove these drivers, and see if windows can pick up what kind of video card you have, by doing an automatic driver install.

Let me thing. Its been about 4 years since I last a ran a multiple domain NT network. I'd say, create a group, restric that group within the GPedit. Assign your users to said group. Propogation, may take some doing. I'm sure there is an easier way to do this, but since I've been outta the loop, I'll tell you the hardway. After setting whatever permissions/restrictions that group has, create a logon script with checks, that updates the security zones and whatnot. Hmmm, maybe this doesn't exactly answer your question. Hope it gives some ideas....

Just out of curiosity, have you tried using the latest and greatest version of the ATI drivers? Have you disabled, or can you disable onboard video(through bios)? Have you, or can you remove any software that was associated with the previous video card? What are the "alot of things" that you have tried? That way, we don't suggest things that you already have tried....

I still use it. Unless someone here can point me in a direction, where I can load an os, with a floppy, and use some sort of partitioning program........

Okay, perhaps we are confusing each other. Anyway, from your question, I just learned something new. prefs.js is basically the default settings. Anything you put into user.js gets loaded into the prefs.js upon startup of firefox/mozilla. So, essentially, you can put it in either. Not necessarily both. But, user.js overides prefs.js. So, really if you wanted to not have a user.js file, you could just add whatever commands into the prefs.js. Does this help? Confused even more? Direct quote.... user.js is a file that contains preferences that will be loaded into the Mozilla Application Suite every time the suite is started up. Each time Mozilla is started up, the valid preferences from user.js are copied into prefs.js, which Mozilla uses to store all the preferences for the current user. The user.js file is located in your profile directory, the same directory as prefs.js, but it is not created by Mozilla. So if the file doesn't exist, simply create a new text file with any text editor, such as notepad, emacs, or vi, and save it with the name "user.js". Make sure you save the file in the same directory as prefs.js. Mozilla will never modify the contents of user.js. However, the contents of prefs.js is frequently modified by Mozilla. If you wish do modify prefs.js directly, you should take care to shut down Mozilla completely before you open the file. Otherwise your edits may be overwritten. Similar to the user.js file, entering about:config in the URL bar will allow you to edit the preferences for the current Mozilla user profile. Changes made in this manner will directly modify the prefs.js file. (Does not apply to Thunderbird.) To undo preferences that you set using the user.js file, you cannot simply delete the preferences that you inserted previously into user.js, as these will remain written in prefs.js. You should instead delete the preferences from prefs.js by editing that file with a text editor or via about:config. Well, here the link that I quoted. http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file Perhaps my instructing skills are lacking...ho hum...

Yes, group policy is a good thing to use. Though, becareful with the group policies.....It can be a royal pain setting them up perfectly.

To lock the security tab, simply add the following dword in the registry. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel Add reg_dword = SecurityTab dword = 1 For more info, see [link]http://www.jsiinc.com/subk/tip5100/rh5165.htm[/link] To automatically propogate these security settings, you might need to create a logon(login) script. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings and HKEY_Local_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings Also, this link is helpful.

Why can't you just put your music folder in a folder that is shared as music folder. Just like your profile folder.

No, problem. Using these procedures will work in NT4, XP, 2003, 2000, probably even longhorn.

Okay, here's some additional information. The prefs.js file is essentially the same as typing in Code: about:config <--- note: There is no space after the about in the address bar. You will see a ton of configurations. Anything you change in here, will be automatically saved in the prefs.js file. user.js file is a file that is not created. YOU must create this file. Where do you create this file? * On Windows XP/2000, the path is usually %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\, where xxxxxxxx is a random string of 8 characters. Just browse to C:\Documents and Settings\[user Name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ and the rest should be obvious. * On Windows 95/98/Me, the path is usually C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\ * On Linux, the path is usually ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxxxxx.default/ * On Mac OS X, the path is usually ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/xxxxxxxx.default/ How do you create a user.js file? There are many ways, using notepad, edit, or even copy con. Though, copy con is a pain. Why create the user.js file? The user.js file is in laymens terms, what goes on behind the scenes. userChrome.css is the visual appearance of Firefox itself userContent.css is the visual appearance of websites viewed within Firefox. userChrome.css, userContent.css, and user.js are not created when you install Firefox. So, if you can't see them, don't panic, just create them. Oh, forgot to mention....userChrome.css and userContent.css are located within the Chrome subdirectory (folder).

Have you tried using version 1.3? Or even 1.3.1 tx?

It seems this is the be all end all post that you are pasting here. Either that, or I'm missing something here.

Ok I disabled APM in the Control Panel, rebooted and now when I power the system off I get to the "safe to power off your PC" message...no blue screen error. So am I stuck with this? Like, do I have a Windows problem here or a hardware (BIOS) problem with APM? Any ideas? Thanks. Yes, you have an "old computer" problem. Nothing wrong with it. Nothing at all. I have this same "problem" on my computer at work. As in, there is no problem.

Oh, the cream of the crop. JSIINC. I've been going to that site for over 5 years. When NT4 information was the only registry hacks that were available at that site.

I'm not sure i'm understanding the reasoning behind this. Can't you put the drivers on via froppy?

Actually, fdisk can "see" an NTFS partition. Well, it states it as being non dos. Or some such.

Bah, worms, viruses and trojans have been around since the dawn of man...err...computers. I wouldn't know what to do with myself, if none of these things exist. But, one thing I do wish. That the old days of having a disk that contains both Mcafee and Norton on it to scan current computers. Via DOS. Now, one thing I have noticed which is pretty cool. Avast! has a boot up virus scanner that I have not seen before. Yes, Norton has one, but only if you are not running in NTFS. Avast! doesn't care, it can still scan away. This is run in the mode where chkdsk is run with xp.

About the only thing I have modded within firefox is my Gmail notifirer, weatherfox,Download Manager tweak, Image Zoom, Linkification, Tweak network, Allow Right-click, ALT-Text for links, Bugmenot, Chromedit, and Compact Menu. Okay and the tweaks I have are the usual speed tweaks found in user.js and I think I have another tweak, that changes how large the "search" box is. Basically mine is double the pts across. Note: there are speed tweaks that are dependant on computer speed and type of bandwidth. Since, I'm at work, I don't have my massive link database. I'll post what I'm talking about later.

I won't be impressed, until it actually comes out. I remember when people were oooohing and ahhhhing when the unreal engine 2 was being talked about. Hmmm. Thas also reminds me when people were ooohing and ahhhing about VGA first coming out.
